Maps of African Countries with Cruise Ship Ports of Call

By , About.com Guide

Africa is a large continent, with cruise ship ports on three oceans--the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Mediterranean Sea. Although Africa is not usually thought of as a cruise destination, 20 countries are visited by cruise ships. Many of these ships are on world or extended-length cruises from Europe, North America, or Australia. However, some cruise ships are based in southeast Africa during the winter months while the weather is cold in the northern hemisphere.

The things to do and see in Africa are varied. The terrain varies from desert to jungle, with major cities built along the seacoasts and rivers. Cruise passengers can learn about the history and cultures of the African countries, take a wildlife safari, visit a winery, browse fascinating shops, and gain a better understanding of a part of the world that is virtually unknown to many who do not live there.

These maps provide a brief look at the ports of call and things to do in each country.
